South Paris 2009
PATRIOT GUARD RIDERS

BACK TO HOME PAGE  
Introducing our new Safety Captain,
Lee Norton on the left, and our State Captain, Mike Edgecomb on the right.
Mike, Lee and a handful of other PGR members took a ride to South Paris recently to participate in a fund raiser for a veterans home.
 

W W II veteran Chet Withers takes a spin around the grounds on the back of a custom trike driven by Crash....better known as Larry Buteau, a local UBM rep. 
Nice to see so many groups all joining forces for a great cause.  We saw PGR members of course, Legion Riders and UBM members all supporting our veterans.
 
 
 
Two Coast Guard veterans.  Our very own Mike Ruhlin decided to spend some time with Lou Bakula who was quick to mention that he was 99 years young and preferred to be called gramps.  The two shared many interesting stories including one where Lou, who was a radioman, told us how he had been in communications with the Hindenburg just before the tragic events of that day unfolded. 
 
 
   
Some of the bikes we saw at the show.  Everything from a 1922 Harley Davidson to a 2009 Victory custom.
